Hellllooo my friends, and happy hump day! How’ve you all been? On my end, I’m gonna be honest, I’ve been feeling damned unmotivated of late, not sure why. Just a general…malaise, really. I’m pretty happy and motivated most of the damned time, so I’m thinking this is just a slight downward phase in the rollercoaster of life, and will likely pass (soon I hope, because I’m not fond of it). While it’s been keeping me from working on the more serious critical content I need to work on, I figure I at least do the news, you know? So here we go! :)

Endless Space – The game is a finalist in the 2013 Unity Awards for a variety of categories. I hope it wins, because it’s certainly a pretty game. Good luck guys and gals!

Deep Space Settlement – Developer Stephanie has posted a new video showing off a flak gun which has area of effect damage, and looks seeeexy. I’ll also embed it below.

90Edges Universe – The official site has a small dev update which shows off a new space station and gives some anecdotes.

Next up, deals! IndieBundle.org has a new SciFi Bundle which inclues the aforementioned Beyond Beyaan for $7 currently. Next up, Green Man Gaming has several bundle deals, such as four packs of EVE Online starter packs. Finally, DotEmu is having their massive Summer sale which includes too many games for me to list here (but you have to keep scrolling down to see ’em).

Finally, in related news, the Broken Crown folks have released their latest Science Behind the Sci-Fi newsletter, and I was on Jim’s other podcast last night, in which we talked about Space Quest and such. Good times. :)

On the Next Podcast…

12/6 - 5:30 PM Pacific - On the next podcast, we'll sit down with the host of the Upper Memory Block Podcast and hash out the classic X-Wing Series!! Be sure to tune in on YouTube, Twitch or Beam, and be sure to check the calendar for even more upcoming shows!
